perhaps I did it backwards but I upgraded rails before rubygems but it  
should work but doesn’t. (I’ve since done a gem cleanup)

In a brand new rails directory…

$ script/server --trace  
./script/…/config/boot.rb:29: undefined method `gem' for main:Object (NoMethodError) from script/server:2:in `require’  
from script/server:2

$ gem list

seems that one more ‘gem update --system’ took care of things…I don’t  
know why I had to do that one more time but nevermind.
